    Hi!
    
    I'm new (to this Planner, not to D&D) - been using the Planner now for a grand total of about 2 hours. Loving it so far. I'm so used to having sheets of papers in folders, boxes, stuffed between book pages etc that I hope and suspect this will make a lot of running a campaign a lot easier. Specially as I'm currently running two, playing in one and planning at least another one!   How many of us are there here? Say Hi? I'm assuming this is fairly new - I hadn't heard about it until I hit Google today...

    Hey! I'm pretty new to this thing too, and I too am used to having stacks and stacks of papers lying around too. From what I've seen so far, it does make it easier! You can add peices for your characters, villains, monsters, ect. 
    
    Of course, im no pro when it comes to being a DM, but it does seem fun! If i may ask, what campaigns are you leading?

    Hi Jason. I'm running Curse of Strahdand  a series based on Tales From the Yawning Portal and Ghosts of Saltmarsh. Also some one-shots from The Arcane Library.  How about you?

    That sounds cool! Hope you have fun with them!
    
    As for me, I'm currently trying to plan and make a campaign based on this horror game I'm interested in (the game's FAITH by airdorf)
    So far its going pretty well. Need to make stat blocks though!

    Just found this place. Got 3 campaigns I'm DMing here. How can we contribute money to this project to make sure all our stuff never goes away?

    That's a great point! I second what Shawnwrites wrote! I had been wondering how permanent the infor on here would stay. If there's a way to enable that by funding the setup, I'm for it.

    Also AntDM I meant to ask the other day, how are you liking Curse of Strahd? I had some friends that had tried it out and they were totally wrecked in their campaign (although they were fairly new players :) )

    That's great! I'll head over there shortly.
    Re Curse of Strahd, we are playing it as part of a campaign which has included Retribution, Road of The Dead (both by Raging Swan Press), then a 5e conversion/homebrew of Pharoah, then onto CoS. It's the heaviest going of the lot, but I find that mainly because there is So Much Stuff included in the book. I started off trying to include everything and realised that's a mistake - specially for my first DMing of the adventure. I'm not an inexperienced DM but it's my first attempt at running Ravenloft.
    It's resulted in one PC death so far (mainly because the PC was acting suicidally), and to be honest, I'm tiring of the campaign. So when I get back to it (taking a break from it at the moment - back in the late summer) I'll probably condense a lot of the content and try to get them to the castle to rescue Ireena (taken by Strahd last session, where we finished for the break).
    
    So in short, it's got a LOT of detail in it, and to be honest I should really have run it as a seperate complete campaign rather than try to shoehorn it into an existing campaign.  It's a great adventure though!
